You
may be stopped by police and given a ticket for many offenses, including
speeding, reckless driving, failing to stop at a stop sign, driving without a
license—in some states, even for using a cell phone that does not have a hands-free
device. In many states, and in many situations, you can challenge the ticket in
traffic court. You can represent yourself. However, traffic ticket lawyers know
which people to talk to at court and the kind of deals they are willing to
make. The traffic ticket lawyer will also know the specific types of proof the
officer must submit to the court and when there is not enough information to
support the traffic ticket.
If you are convicted of a traffic violation, you
may have to pay fines, attend traffic court, or have your license suspended. In
rare cases, you might face jail time. A conviction will likely also hike your
insurance rates.
